Reminder: Using KNewStuff in Kstars for sharing links and photos

[Jeremy Whiting]

Yes, KNewStuff can be used to download any file data. It can also be
used for uploading any file data. It is currently restricted to ocs
providers, but I think it will be extended at some point to also
support download and upload from/to bodega servers.

BR,
Jeremy
